Piaggio Supplemental Type Certificate Kit

SA04199NY

Being a customer-centric company, Becker Avionics put thought into the design of the PMA-approved installation kit for the STC.

This STC was designed with simplicity and ease of installation in mind. The whole modification can be performed quickly and during a planned maintenance event. The obsolete Baker Electronics M1035/M1045 audio panels are removed from the instrument panel. The new AMU is installed by adding a new audio panel mounting bracket and a small harness adapter. Remove part of the cockpit interior, remove the existing audio panel and audio mounting bracket, install the new wiring harness into the existing connectors, and then connect and mount the AMU in the instrument panel. Run the new headphone wires and mount the new stereo headphone jack, run the new power wires, and then run the audio data bus lines from one AMU to the other behind the instrument panel; new audio lines will be run from the existing Baker panel connectors to the communication radios in the nose avionics bay. From there, turn on the system and begin operational checkout procedures. The whole installation should take approximately 70 hours to complete.

When purchasing the STC as a kit, it is delivered with all required components, including:

• (2) AMU6500 Digital Audio Panels

• (2) Adapter Harnesses

• (2) Audio Panel Mounting Brackets

• Technical Data Package

• Right to Use Letter/Letter of Authorization

The AMU6500 Digital Audio Management Unit is the next step in a long legacy of audio management and intercom systems. Building on Becker Avionics’ proven audio quality and reliability, the AMU6500 delivers unique features like the fully configurable true spatial 3D audio capability, Bluetooth connectivity, and a modern display interface, setting a new standard for intercom functionality.
